Travellers have spent a third day on a former hospital site in Fulbourn.

The group, thought to be the same that departed from Stapleford recreation ground on Sunday, has set up on the Ida Darwin site in Fulbourn near Fulbourn hospital, which has been earmarked for a large-scale housing development.

The travellers are reportedly keeping themselves to themselves, though concerns have been raised about whether litter will be collected after they leave.

“I have not heard any reports of any problems from residents," a spokesman for Fulbourn Parish Council said: "They were out and about in the village yesterday.

“I have not heard any reports of intimidation or fear. No one’s causing any inconvenience. What it will be like with all the rubbish when they leave, I don’t know.”

Yesterday, a resident, who asked not to be named, said: “They are at Ida Darwin, and there are a lot of them. I would say it’s quite a large area and there are about 20 caravans and other vehicles there. I didn’t see any animals.”
